安大略省贝尔维尔警方表示，杰夫·史密斯警员在枪击并受重伤一个多月后已出院，当时他正在一处犹太教堂附近参与枪战。
The Belleville, Ont., police department says Const. Jeff Smith has been released from hospital more than a month after he was shot and seriously injured in a shootout near a synagogue.
“史密斯在康复过程中继续取得积极进展。他已出院，并在家中恢复良好，”贝尔维尔警方在周四早上的一份新闻稿中表示。
"Smith continues to make positive progress in his recovery. He has been released from hospital and is recovering well at home," said Belleville police in a Thursday morning news release.
史密斯警员和他的同事迈克尔·麦卡迪警员与一名持枪者对峙，该人正试图对雅各之子犹太教堂实施仇恨袭击，时间是9月20日。贝尔维尔警长表示，史密斯被多次击中，包括头部。持枪者肖恩·沃德次日死亡。
The officer and his colleague Const. Michael McCurdy confronted a gunman who was trying to carry out a hate attack on the Sons of Jacob Synagogue on Sept. 20. Belleville's police chief said Smith was shot several times, including in the head. Gunman Sean Ward died the next day.
贝尔维尔警长后来表示，沃德“拥有实施更大规模行为的手段、机制和动机。阻止两名警员进入犹太教堂执行意图的，唯一因素就是这两名警员。”
Belleville's police chief later said Ward "had the means, the mechanism and the motive to perpetrate a greater act. The only thing that stopped entry into the synagogue to execute the intent were the two officers."
史密斯此前一直驻守在犹太教堂外，该教堂曾请求警方保护。雅各之子犹太教堂称赞史密斯为英雄。在一篇Facebook帖子中，史密斯的妻子阿什莉·史密斯感谢急救人员和医院工作人员“挽救生命”且“稳定可靠”的双手，其中包括“一位天才神经外科医生”。贝尔维尔警方：犹太教堂枪击案是“仇恨动机犯罪”
